You can only get it from an Infected Partner. Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is a bacterial infection of the urethra in men and the urethra, cervix, or both in women. Gonorrhea can also infect the rectum, anus, throat, pelvic organs, and rarely, the conjunctiva, which is the membrane that lines the eyelid and eye surface. About half of those who are infected don't have symptoms. People who do not have symptoms may unknowingly transmit gonorrhea infections to their sex partners.
The throat, anus, urethra, and rectum are common areas of infection in both men and women. If symptoms are present, they may include painful urination, anal itching or bleeding, or abnormal discharge from the penis or vagina. Gonorrhea infection in the throat doesn't usually cause symptoms, such as a sore throat.
In men, symptoms are usually serious enough that they will cause a man to seek medical attention before complications occur. In women, the early symptoms are sometimes so mild that they are mistaken for a bladder infection or vaginal infection.
The incubation period—the time from exposure to gonorrhea until symptoms develop—is usually 2 to 5 days, but sometimes symptoms may not develop for up to 30 days.

oral sex
anal sex
vaginal intercourse
males get a profuse greenish discharge. females may or may not have symptoms. if you suspect you are a contact for someone with gonorrheae, go to your local health department and get tested. they can also test you for chlamydia, syphillis, and hiv while you are there, and it's free. it's always a good idea to get checked periodically, especially if you have a new partner, your partner may be cheating, or if you have multiple partners. be informed!
